Report

On 9/5/25 I attempted the Point 6 VK.  Unsupported and solo.  Given the short nature of the event it was completely self contained and I carried all of my supplies.  

 

I was a little uncertain where the summit cairn deemed the end of the FKT route would be (as the summit is domainted by a weather station).  But to my relief, it was very obvious about 100 yards shy of the weather station.  

 

After completing the route, catching my breath, and refuelling, I continued out to Murphy peak and back at a casual pace, completing the backyard classic.

I intended to track the effort with Caltopo and a Garmin inreach, but my Inreach was out of batteries, so I used two apps on my phone:  Caltopo and the Motion-X-GPS.

I gave it my best, but the time is still soft and will go way down in the hands of a professional or semi-professional runner.
